[SUCCESS] i7-5820k / GTX 970 / GA-X99-UD4 Sierra 10.12 [Clover Guide] (100% Working)

[IsidoreIsou]

Hey Malki,
I am trying to follow your great guide to install Sierra 10.12.4 on my x99 machine.
When I try to boot on the usb drive, I have the Apple Logo then the Stop Sign, in verbose mode I get this :

Please note that :
- The Unibeast install on the USB drive is very quick : 4 minutes (it's a external usb hard drive, witch worked for the 10.11 x99 installation)
- When I try to put OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi on the USB drive, in the folder I don't have OsXAptioFix2Drv.efi, I only have OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi, witch I remove.

Edit: - Also in the usb drive, the folder Clover > Kexts > 10.11 and 10.12 are empty. Not sure if it's correct ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Thanks !

I solved my problem, here was my mistake :

- I was booting for the wrong drive, since I've had 2 internal and 1 external drives with EFI clover, I have to be carefull and choose the right drive to boot on in bios (F12)

- I had to update clover to the last version after Unibeast and Multibeast installs.

Now I have a working system Thanks for this guide !

Last thing : I see we are using iMac and not Mac Pro system definition now, that is change anything ?

Have a good day !

correct to remove anything that says osxaptiofix and replace with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi.

That is fine if those folders in clover > kexts are empty just leave all kexts in "Other"

Glad its working!

I've used both, I stick with Imac. Imac is easier to update due to not needing to patch the graphic drivers. Other than that I saw no difference other than when you go into "About Mac" it says Mac Pro vs saying Imac.

Thanks for this very good guide! I restarted my Xeon E5v3-project after Pascal was finally available as a driver and this was the first time I didn't run into any KP or sudden restarts! Thanks again! Great hero of mine!

The only thing what isn't working is USB 3, and my config only differs in UD3 instead of your UD4. Any suggestions?

Glad its working! I'm sorry usb 3.0 does not work. Please make sure you follow guide to the T. As stated, if done properly, only true usb 3.0 devices will appear under usb 3.0 hub. Otherwise it will be shown as usb 2.0.

if this does not work, try Generic 3rd party USB 3.0 kext by RehabMan

https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-generic-usb3/downloads/

and delete all other kexts associated with usb

Hello, I had a hackintosh with yosemite on it and wanted to update it using your guide. I did install sierra over my yosemite installation, but I can not boot to the installed OS. It always gives me a kernel panic and reboots/shuts down. Could it be a problem that I had multibeast and yosemite on the disk and did not make a fresh install? I also tried the -F flag that would ignore multibeast settings.

My setup:
Gigabyte Gaming 5 X99
Intel 5820k
2 Gtx 1080s

The Ev0reboot.kext is incompatible with Sierra and should be removed.

Ok, but how can I remove it without booting the system?

Safe mode ?
Boot from your USB installer ?
Boot from your Recovery partition and remove it with Terminal :

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ev0reboot.kext
